This course is the first of the design for healthcare series (it is strongly recommended that prototyping for healthcare design is taken just after this course). Design discovery for healthcare applies design thinking techniques to the beginning stages of digital health app ideation. Working as part of a team, participants will explore methods for mapping stakeholders, and plan for and execute user interviews to gain insights about user needs for a digital health app. They will also choose design research methods, practice synthesizing results, and facilitate ideation sessions, with a goal of creating a design research brief. Teams will explore design software tools in this course but will not be required to code.
